About Dana
Dana Piergiovanni is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania who uses client-centered care to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and depression. She focuses on practical, everyday steps that can make life feel more manageable. Dana aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what’s hard and try out new ways of coping.
With 12 years of experience, she draws on approaches that guide conversations toward clear goals and small changes.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy helps identify what’s working now and build on it. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation grounded in each person’s priorities.
She has worked with people dealing with relationship and family problems, caregiving stress, communication challenges, divorce and separation, and parenting concerns. Dana has also supported members of the autism community and those navigating Asperger Syndrome related issues. Her work emphasizes listening first, then suggesting practical tools to reduce daily strain.
Sessions are aimed at real-life improvements like calmer reactions to anger, clearer communication, and better routines for stress and mood management. Dana encourages small, measurable steps and checks in on what helps. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, focused on helping people get through difficult moments and adjust to life changes.
People who prefer collaborative, goals-oriented sessions may find her approach a good fit. She offers care in English and provides several online formats to meet different needs.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects concerns back, and helps people clarify their goals and values. This approach is useful for anyone who needs a supportive space to talk through strong emotions like anger or worry.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice thought patterns that feed anxiety, low mood, or angry reactions and then try different behaviors to test new results. CBT is practical and often includes short exercises or homework to practice between sessions, which works well in online formats.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on tiny changes that make a big difference. Sessions look for exceptions to the problem and map out small, concrete steps to repeat. That focus on quick, trackable goals can be particularly helpful when juggling busy schedules.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress and priorities change.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for in-depth conversations and seeing facial cues, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and messaging lets people write when it’s convenient. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life, while still allowing regular, goal-focused sessions with a licensed professional.
